Really good , food was extremely good value for money . Would definitely stay again . Staff were very pleasant and helpf
Pros:

Proximity to the M6 as I was travelling the next day .
Also it looks very pretty!

Cons:

The room above me seemed to have a herd of elephants in it , they were clog dancing until quite late , so it was difficult to sleep, I guess this is due to lack of insulation between the floors .

Sadly we were disappointed in the standards of this Inn and won’t return.
Pros:

Charging facilities at a reasonable cost

Cons:

The room was run down and quite shabby. Felt like the whole place needed a revamp. It wasn’t what we were sold from the images.

Except Kitchen service for dinner. Ok. Have used in past so hopefully a one off!
Pros:

Good room. Friendly staff serving. Manager trying to minimise issues raised by Kitchen issues for dinner

Cons:

Waited an hour for our meal after ordering. Manager very apologetic, gave us a complimentary drink but it was nearly 8.45 before food came. Major issues on staffing in kitchen. Food was good when it came although some of extras paid for did not arrive.
